Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (310g)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes (210g)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water (4 to 5 tablespoons)
Pro Tips:
Chilled Ingredients: Ensure both the butter and water are ice-cold. This helps maintain the flakiness in the crust.
Don’t Overwork the Dough: Mix the dough just until it comes together. Overworking can lead to a tough crust.
Use a Food Processor (Optional): For a foolproof method, use a food processor to cut the butter into the flour quickly.
Consistent Butter Size: Aim for pea-sized butter pieces in the flour for a flaky texture.
Add Water Gradually: Start with 1/4 cup of ice water and add more if needed. The key is to add just enough for the dough to hold together.
Chill Dough: Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll Out Crust: On a floured surface, roll out one disk to fit your pie pan. Use the second disk for the top crust if making a double-crust pie.
Assemble and Bake: Follow your pie recipe for filling and baking instructions.
